[00:03] Okay, we're going to call the order of the regular meeting of the Miami City Council for today's date and time.
[00:09] Item 2 is the Congress Miami Hospital Centennial Recognition Proclamation.
[00:14] And I told John and Simone that I wasn't going to read the whole thing and I'm not, but there are a couple of things
[00:19] I would like to touch on because I was sitting there reading and saying, wow, for myself.
[00:24] So this is a proclamation declaring July 1, 2019, this is the Congress Miami Hospital Centennial Recognition in the City of Miami.
[00:31] Or as the Congress Miami Hospital established on July 11, 2019, it's just short of a hundred years.
[00:37] As the Miami Baptist Hospital, it'll provide quality health care in the work of East Oklahoma while providing service with a heart.
[00:44] They continued their commitment for over a century.
[00:47] Their, as the Congress is the largest Oklahoma home, not for profit system.
[00:52] The Congress Miami Hospital today provides over $48 million.
[00:58] For the economic benefit to northeastern Oklahoma each year, I think that's something that most people don't realize when they think about a hospital.
[01:05] And they know what the hospitals are and they go there if they don't realize the economic impact it has.
[01:10] The other thing I think is significant, and I would all appreciate, the Congress Miami is a best in more than 20 million in capital improvements in the last 10 years.
[01:19] That's really meaningful.
[01:21] And we appreciate the Congress Board support.
[01:24] We're not there for being resolved.
[01:26] The mayor's shows in the Miami City Council.
[01:28] Do you hear about it?
[01:29] I declare to you, July 11, 2019, this is the Congress Miami Hospital Centennial Recognition and the City of Miami.
[01:35] Okay, guys, want to come up?
[01:37] Will we present this?
[01:46] Will we?
[01:47] Are you feeling pictures?
[01:48] I don't know.
[01:50] Do we have to see what will happen to you?
[02:01] That's nice to have on town people leading the charge there.
[02:08] We appreciate that.
[02:11] Sure.
[02:12] Your Honor, if I could just say something about yours very quickly.
[02:14] I think on your next agenda, we're going to have an honorary street naming.
[02:19] I believe it's C, Saudis.
[02:23] That is really becoming the main entrance into a tapered from C, the owns Boulevard.
[02:27] And we're going to call it a take or sweat.
[02:29] That will be the third honorary street name that we've done.
[02:32] And I believe the 30th is going to be the celebration, June 30th.
[02:36] So, I think, I know Steve and I are both on the Integra Sport and we're really looking forward to that as well.
[02:41] So, we have to be on it tonight.
[02:42] It's going to be a good community celebration.
[02:44] So, this is just the beginning with the resolution.
[02:48] All right.
[02:49] Thank you, again, gentlemen.
[02:50] So, Terry, we appreciate it very much.
[02:52] Item 3 is public hearing.
[03:00] proposed FY-2019-2020 budget is public hearings call for any member of the public to present
[03:06] to the governing body comments recommendations or information on any part of the proposed
[03:10] budget.
[03:11] So I'm going to declare this public hearing open at this time and invite anyone that has comments
[03:17] or recommendations to come up to the podium and share those with us if they're already.
[03:25] There being none.
[03:26] I'm going to declare the public hearing closed.
[03:28] We'll be taking it.
[03:31] Anybody?
[03:32] Sure.
[03:35] I'm going to address the problem of utilities being heard about for flooded people and people
[03:40] that don't flood.
[03:42] And they, the city, I have learned that you've never had, I've served skilled and unskilled
[03:50] people, disconnect things, use of the links from high attention, wires, and we're not probably
[03:55] trained to do so.
[03:56] And we use everybody on hand.
[03:58] And I'm a plan.
[04:00] And I've been through many blood and I don't want to do to prepare and be grateful.
[04:07] And so I also go to the city and in the airs office, I asked them, what do you want me to do to
[04:12] get my electric back home?
[04:14] Because any blood that can be compared to that you have electricity to be able to get your house dry
[04:20] back down.
[04:21] Without it, you're just creating more mold and dry.
[04:25] So, every time we go down there and they study well, we will send somebody out.
[04:32] If you don't clean down, we'll turn it back home, especially if I haven't been in there.
[04:39] And then eventually, why?
[04:41] When all that happens, then there's no enough people down there to lay in there.
[04:46] And there's points back to you guys, because there's a lot of people down there getting their
[04:50] up to two homes, unless they don't have time to do their job.
[04:55] So, basically, then they changed into where you've got to have an electrician.
[05:00] Inspecting buildings.
[05:02] So, I jumped right on it.
[05:04] I got to man out there.
[05:05] I paid for three buildings today that didn't have any damage to the wiring.
[05:10] They didn't have their refinements.
[05:11] Let's be more precise.
[05:13] And they were watering them, but in none electrical.
[05:18] Now, it also was in the house, which got in there and they all passed inspection.
[05:23] They had been ready to inspect for quite some period of time.
[05:27] So, we need a plan.
[05:30] I mean, and stick to it.
[05:32] I know FEMA gets in the way you guys.
[05:34] I've seen it before.
[05:35] There was going straight forward and I asked them, I have no smell.
[05:37] I said, what's going on, guys?
[05:39] They were so scattered.
[05:40] And they said, hey, FEMA, you're going to try to travel with us.
[05:43] And told them, we have to do that.
[05:44] Prior to seven.
[05:45] Just one need in an issue.
[05:47] Okay.
[05:48] So, Mr. Mayor.
[05:51] If I may, with all due respect to my friend here,
[05:54] this is not a budget discussion.
[05:56] This was a late day.
[05:57] I don't know.
[05:58] 11 is flooding discussions, but simply.
[06:00] And so if they hear and Dean will respond and probably other staff will also about this specifically on that item that the mayor has.
[06:10] It's something that they need. They're already plus created and your employees are plus created because they're overworked.
[06:17] And I told somebody a year ago that if you, you know, they said, well look at all these things, guys.
[06:23] If you don't have these extra men when you have an emergency, you don't have enough to perform and that looks like what I'm saying.
[06:32] So Kevin, when I'm 11.
[06:35] Okay. Thank you.
[06:37] So now let's put it all right.
[06:39] So that was me.
[06:40] What now I was banned.
[06:43] So again, at this time, if there's no other questions about the budgets specifically or comments about the
[06:51] budget specifically, I'm going to close the public hearing on the budget.
[06:55] Okay.
[06:58] Item four is public input and unscheduled personal appearances.
[07:00] Anyone of the audience who is to address the council on the agenda items set for item 11.
[07:06] If we'll hold that conversation until that time.
[07:09] Item five is consent agenda staff is recommending item five items five and six.
[07:17] Excuse me.
[07:19] Item six through ten for the consent agenda.
[07:22] If you take a quick look at those and there are no questions or concerns on any of those.
[07:28] We will, I would entertain the motion to approve.
[07:31] I'll let the motion.
[07:32] And a second please second roll call.
[07:35] Foreignster.
[07:37] Hi.
[07:38] Work it.
[07:39] All right.
[07:40] Item 11.
[07:42] Flood.
[07:43] Discussion.
[07:46] We're going to divide a.
[07:48] Just did a PowerPoint.
[07:50] I've got a few other things to talk about.
[07:52] Then I'll be getting to that item without the.
[07:54] Okay.
[07:55] Just be.
[07:57] Okay.
[08:00] No, I'm just saying be patient with me.
[08:02] I will get to this side.
[08:03] But I've got a few other things that need to kind of bring everybody up to speed on.
[08:07] And staff is here as well.
[08:10] Anyway, just wanted to give everybody a kind of an update of where we stand right now and what we're trying to plan to do on recovery.
[08:18] One thing we just happened today is that a lot of people have been thinking that the April tornado and the May floods.
[08:25] We're going to be blended into one flood or one disaster declaration.
[08:29] We found out that they're going to be separate declarations.
[08:32] Do you know we had a small tornado that went through here on the 30th of April.
[08:37] So I believe from the 30th of April to about six will be one disaster declaration and the May floods after that will be a second disaster.
[08:46] A second disaster declaration and all probability because the May floods are going to be a federal disaster for multi state and it's a large thing that we're going to be talking about.
[08:57] But anybody watching this anybody that's involved one thing.
[09:00] that we, if you are talking to people, one thing that we're trying to make very clear is that
[09:05] if anybody has any damage, including damage that might be covered by insurance, see their
[09:10] tornado or flood, they need to report this to the website www.damaged.ok.gov. Because this,
[09:21] the type of damage we guess will determine if we get a federal disaster declaration. And
[09:26] we do think that we've had enough damage to cause that kind of a problem that we've got
[09:30] to get that information out there. So I'm getting just to clarify, not just the amount,
[09:34] but actually the nature of the damage and the nature of the damage and the amount. And of
[09:38] course, one thing that we'll be talking about here is we're keeping track of all of our
[09:42] cost as well because this is going to be additional costs for us. And we're going to be trying
[09:47] to work on it and keep things going. But the tornado recovery has been complicated by the flooding.
[09:53] There's still some isolated area of the roadside tree limbs someplace late by the property
[09:57] owners. Where the process right now is kind of establishing a cut off to say, you still have
[10:03] any tornado limb damage, get it out to the road after that. There's just going to have to take
[10:08] care of it as they normally would. Just as for your information on the small tornado we had,
[10:14] we've taken care of 741 tons of tree limbs from the tornado. And that's about six hundred and
[10:22] five tons have been collected just by the street. So just getting an idea of that. And I think with
[10:28] the flooding that's been happening, we've basically forgotten about the tornado flooding discussion.
[10:34] We've had roughly 50 homes and 25 businesses, all MSUA customers, including solid waste customers,
[10:42] per the data we've got. We only think about 15 of those customers have flood policies and have been
[10:47] impacted by flood water. It's been a question about whether they have flood insurance, they don't have
[10:52] flood insurance. Some of the larger properties, especially commercial properties in that area, do not have
[10:57] flood insurance. That we found out. This devolence area, this devolence area primarily. So power has been or will be
[11:05] restored in this, isn't getting right into what you're talking about now. In buildings that were not or not
[11:13] significantly inundated by water, we basically were restoring the power. So I'm not entirely sure
[11:20] we know what the problems are when I want to get the details later. But what we have been working on is that we did pull a lot
[11:28] of meters when the water was rustling. It was kind of all hell hands on deck, it didn't get in the meters off. Some properties
[11:34] did not have water in them. We're trying to get the power back on. Our occupied, we take care of it, some
[11:40] aren't occupied, that might be a problem. What we also were saying is if a property only had just a little
[11:46] bit of water, a few inches or something like that, did not get into any of the electrical, we were going to be
[11:52] restoring those as well. So that was our plan. Now going on to the next slide.
[12:00] If the building has been significantly inundated, and what we're talking about significantly
[12:05] at the water-covered outlets, there are electrical elements or anything like that,
[12:10] they do have to be inspected by licensed electrician before we will restore power, and
[12:15] that's the basic public safety.
[12:16] And is that any different than the way we did in 2007?
[12:21] Well, I know you weren't here, I wasn't here in 2007.
[12:24] How many of you didn't have to have a licensed electrician look at the one panel?
[12:31] And I think the employee is employed one with all of my couldn't.
[12:35] Everything is moving to the flow that you think is in the city of electrician, the fillet
[12:41] that they didn't make it in my electrician.
[12:43] Well, that right now is out of the city of electrician, but an electrician in the city is the license
[12:47] of electrician.
[12:48] Exactly.
[12:49] So basically, I didn't realize that slide was coming up so quickly.
[12:53] So that's our plan right now.
[12:55] So if Christy's right behind you, and we're trying to get that inspection done, I'm trying to understand
[13:02] what your concerns were because this is what our staff has been trying to get.
[13:07] So if it wasn't inundated, you don't have to have an inspection, we'll get it back up and run.
[13:12] My thinking is when I forgot the thing, I'm going to be getting me understanding the thing
[13:19] and free food water with this primary one.
[13:23] But they basically, we need to get something organized where we can get continuity.
[13:37] And at this point, we pull them all off, and it's the equivalent of, all right, let's say gas service company.
[13:47] I just had to pay a electrician to come out with the buildings that the electric boat was not even cut.
[13:53] Because the city didn't have a man to send up the truck in a timely manner.
[13:59] And it was cheaper for me to pay electrician.
[14:01] That's the equivalent of gas service company, come out and say, hey, that might not be right.
[14:07] I'm going to pay five dollars for you to turn your pot of water on.
[14:10] And as a vendor, if any of you guys are there, if they've formed the way that things have been going, you guys would fire them in a heartbeat.
[14:19] Now that's my opinion, don't get paid for it.
[14:22] So, how can I help?
[14:24] You know, I don't want you to have good people left there.
[14:28] Let's get them more out of this line.
[14:30] And a lot of them, in business with them, they're not happy with the way things are going.
[14:35] And I think you guys need to figure out a way to make them work better for you.
[14:40] And they lose them good people.
[14:42] And that's, you know, I didn't really ask for it.
[14:46] I've been calling them all the different people.
[14:48] It hasn't been going all the way.
[14:54] Anyway, it's obviously a crime time for me to not appreciate your patience.
[14:58] Do you have questions from me?
[14:59] I do.
[15:00] This is, you know, you've made notion that you've talked to a few of our city employees.
[15:05] Is this something that has been going on prior to flooding?
[15:08] Are you strictly talking about the flooding situation?
[15:11] Have a case and, you know, you leave it when they're all over the place.
[15:17] You know, I've talked to probably in different city employees.
[15:20] Is this during the flooding situation?
[15:22] No.
[15:23] Okay.
[15:24] But I know a lot of you in the name.
[15:25] You know what I mean?
[15:26] I just want to make sure I just want to know if it is strictly flooding.
[15:30] The situation that we're having and how do we correct that or what is our protocol?
[15:35] And, you know, I agree with you when I'm percent.
[15:37] I don't, we don't want to lose good employees if they're tired or wore out.
[15:41] I just want to make sure that if it's flooding event that is causing these individuals
[15:47] that you're talking about to be upset or wore out, we need to figure out what our plan is to actually do.
[15:54] Do I?
[15:55] Grab them off.
[15:56] You know, COVID-19.
[15:57] No, that's fine.
[15:58] I don't want you to.
[15:59] I don't want to know what your plan is.
[16:00] I don't want to lose your name.
[16:01] I don't want to know.
[16:02] Right.
[16:03] Because I do know there's coming down there tonight.
[16:06] And, anyway, I don't normally, if I complain, I've got an answer.
[16:12] I think my thought is, mind the floods.
[16:16] We know we're going to flood.
[16:17] We know we're going to flood again.
[16:18] Have a set.
[16:19] I don't have a problem if you're going to have to pay an electrician.
[16:23] Although, that I can afford it.
[16:25] It's an extreme hardship on some of them.
[16:28] But at first, I was on a good question.
[16:31] Because I attend, they don't call the water to my house and said, what do you want?
[16:35] And they said, well, that comes your house.
[16:37] If the water got in, the outlets, if they're good and clean, we'll go ahead and meet you back up.
[16:43] Otherwise, you're going to have to replace them.
[16:45] And then, in a couple of three days, you just like after seven, five, things changed.
[16:51] And they were overwhelmed.
[16:52] And they couldn't get out and look at it.
[16:54] And then, finally, I have to circle by these ones.
[16:56] And that fire came out in the last couple of days that you're going to have to get to the electrician.
[17:00] Which I would gladly pay to be able to get back to working on things.
[17:05] Because I have a commercial convertible.
[17:08] And that tore a little bit went to the city, went diagonally from my place,
[17:13] break over to my house.
[17:15] And then come in the pan, which I probably got more debris on the ground after I think that's it.
[17:19] But anyway, I'm trying to clean and extend it.
[17:22] I'm trying to ask for that.
[17:24] But you get to play in a place ahead of time.
[17:27] A pitch can be set to stone ever time.
[17:30] The last few times it's been changing.
[17:32] And it's, you know, people are on it anyway.
[17:35] And then they came.
[17:36] And I did not get continuity from one office to the front window.
[17:42] Now, people will help them.
[17:44] But if they go, it was going sideways.
[17:47] And maybe it was because I didn't explain myself well.
[17:50] And maybe it wasn't, I don't know.
[17:52] But in the end, most of them are very helpful and they're passionate.
[17:56] But I don't think they've got the manpower.
[18:00] was your HFAC system affected? Was your HFAC system under water as well? HVRC? You're air conditioner
[18:19] on the edge because that would need to be as hot water tank if it's on the floor level too. I know where you live
[18:56] and you get it about every flood. It's up in your house.
[19:15] It's the entities and the not being able to, you know, you can't, they don't have the
[19:24] manpower to respond well and this is a small flood compared to 770.
[19:29] There's hardly any of the houses left.
[19:33] So, Dean, I know you were still kind of in the midst of the flood recovery part, but I assume that a few weeks
[19:41] out you and staff will convene a meeting and you'll talk about what went well and what didn't
[19:46] work and we do better. Actually, we were having meetings right now.
[19:50] I would avoid some of the things that I was talking about. It's what I'll guarantee that.
[19:54] That's what this is. Thanks, Alan.
[19:56] The second item on that slide. Would you address that, Dean?
[20:01] I definitely would. As I said, these are all, everybody that we know is that's involved
[20:05] is an MSUA customer which also includes solid waste.
[20:08] So, we're going to be providing solid waste clean up.
[20:12] Including for commercial customers, because they are our customers as well.
[20:17] We do collect solid waste from them.
[20:19] And we're trying to get that taken care very quickly.
[20:22] And again, what we're talking about is we're going to be bringing in some additional assistance.
[20:25] We're going to be hiring folks as well.
[20:27] That will be covered by the federal disaster declaration.
[20:30] But we've got to do the clean up fairly quickly.
[20:32] Go by some of the hotels. You already see mattresses that are out of the stream.
[20:36] We can't leave those out for a long period of time.
[20:39] People are taking out sheetrock. People are taking out carpet.
[20:42] This is all stuff that our solid waste can handle.
[20:45] But it's just a matter of getting it out.
[20:47] So, we're making plans to be able to take care of that.
[20:50] We're back that just a minute to the first item because of something you just said.
[20:54] When I was talking, one of the things that was going through my head is when the tornado came through or whenever we have a disaster.
[21:00] from other communities that didn't suffer a disaster will come in and help is are we able to just bring in I'm just going to say regular
[21:09] electricians because I don't know how to describe it. They could help with the inspections and things like that and if we have a flood
[21:16] a disaster declaration build that back then to I think I think I could. I wasn't aware we were having problems getting
[21:24] electricians end to be able to do these inspection pluses we were saying this we have basically 50 houses and 25
[21:31] businesses. I think part of ours point is that he can afford to pay an electrician if he needs you to
[21:37] get it down but some of our residents can and so they would be relying on our staff to do that work and then
[21:45] because we have 50 or plus and keep in mind by code we cannot do that kind of work. So we would have to have
[21:50] a licensed electricity kind of inspection. So let's let's get on that. But they could visit the
[21:57] building and look and say the water didn't get enough to get into the water. That work we're supposed to
[22:02] be now like you can't even do that. Because there's not enough manpower what you're saying. I don't know why but
[22:07] I don't know. You're just saying it's not happening and you do other assumptions. Okay. All right thanks
[22:12] out. So on the I've got a couple of comments on the next item I've heard from a couple of people
[22:19] one person called me and was frustrated because we were going to provide free dumpsters to people
[22:27] and they felt like it was the city going into competition with the private business and I said I would share
[22:35] that in fact I called and then I had another business been that is on Steve Owen's call me and say
[22:43] I heard you're not going to provide dumpsters that's not fair you hauled off everybody's storm
[22:47] debris from the tornado why won't you help us with this and I said let I think it's going to be
[22:52] a topic of the meeting tonight. So we'll let you know tomorrow exactly what's going to happen at our
[22:57] tent is to hold. Okay. And the rationale for that so we have an answer for the gym and it was concerned about
[23:06] the city competing with him is that because what he said to me specifically was those are my tax dollars
[23:11] you're using to compete with me and I understand this point of view but from our perspective those are
[23:20] our customers that are also they're paying not only taxes but they're also paying in SUVA fees. Correct.
[23:28] And there's a health and safety issue. Yeah. I'm getting that. Very good. Very good. Very good.
[23:32] Very good. Exactly. Anybody on that slide? Anybody have any other comments?
[23:40] Any council member? Okay lean. That's all that. Okay the other thing that this is probably
[23:48] something that we're going to get a lot of people in here to talk to you about. But we fully
[23:53] intended to follow the theme of regulations regarding the 50% and just kind of a 15%.
[24:00] explanation. That means many of the properties whose damage to recovery equals 50% of the
[24:06] depreciated value of the structure cannot be rebuilt unless they meet all FEMA regulations.
[24:12] And that includes building above the 100 year base flood elevation. And these properties are
[24:17] going to be considered red tag. So, Dean is at the depreciated value or the current value.
[24:27] What I have read is the depreciated value is how FEMA goes. This is a 15-second explanation.
[24:34] This is a very detailed process that we're going to have to go through and kind of looking at
[24:39] Chris because he's going to be one of the people that's going to be very involved with it. But it is
[24:45] one of the FEMA regulations about that. I know you were doing that in 2007. Yeah, I'd seem like in
[24:52] 2007 that people were able to, if they wanted to go to the expense of getting an appraisal,
[24:57] they could use that value. That same, that's what the law said. I think that that happened
[25:03] on something like that. So, I would just be curious to you know that we want to clarify that the other
[25:10] part, and maybe you're going to get there, but that's actually a cumulative number. It's not just this
[25:15] highlighted. As I understand the regulations, if they had 25% of the value last time around and
[25:23] there's 30% this time, that's 55% and they would be red tag. So, we'd probably need to be clear on that.
[25:30] We'd want to be very clear on that. And that is commercial properties, commercial and residential
[25:36] correct. And for the benefit of people that may be watching, this is not something that the city
[25:43] of a rural city put in place. If we don't follow these guidelines, then our community cannot participate
[25:50] in a national flood insurance program. We're potentially not received federal assistance for recovery.
[25:55] Right. So, it's crucial that we are members and, again, I know some of the other council members
[26:03] have probably participated. We have to, we have to pass audiences from time to time to stay in compliance
[26:09] in order to participate in NFIP, you know. Go ahead, Dean. Okay. Next up. Now, other thing, this is probably
[26:18] going to be a little different from 2007 as well. In the normal conditions, the property owner could appeal
[26:23] or write tags as a nation to the Board of Adjustment. But we don't really have a planning and Board of Adjustment
[26:29] right now because we're redoing the ordinance that establish them. So, I just wanted to make you aware
[26:34] that any appeals are going to be heard directly to you. I thought you'd appreciate that slide.
[26:41] Take my credit for that. Yeah. Step up and take credit for that.
[26:44] Take a credit for that. Well, it is what it is. We also, I think, just to do this whole thing, we've got to
[26:51] recognize that, you know, just as Allison, this is not nearly as big a Float of 2007. We've got communities all up
[26:59] and down the earth.
[27:00] I can saw River Basin that have had major flooding.
[27:03] Of course, you know, I used to work in Fort Smith.
[27:05] I still have friends there.
[27:06] I'm going to touch with them.
[27:07] They said at least 500 homes they were in a data.
[27:10] I know that Governor Hutchison in Fort Smith,
[27:13] or in what's in Fort Smith at the end of the day,
[27:15] and just asking people would be to please be patient.
[27:17] This is tough all over.
[27:19] So I think this is something that even when we're working with the state,
[27:24] we're probably going to be toward the end of the line in some way.
[27:26] I look at the problems in Tulsa.
[27:28] You look at places like Moffitt, Weber's Falls that are just almost completely washed out.
[27:34] It looks like we had our time in 2007.
[27:36] They're having their time now.
[27:39] This is a major natural disaster that we're dealing with.
[27:42] Moving on to the next.
[27:45] At highlights, why we've been strongly involved with the real licensing of Pensacola.
[27:49] And the problems we've had with the operations by GRDA and the core of engineers.
[27:53] And why we've been, you know, so involved, you know,
[27:56] with both legally, from an administrative standpoint.
[28:00] We think we need to continue to push for pre-releases prior to predicted range
[28:04] to increase rates of our storage capacity.
[28:06] We're collecting information on that right now.
[28:09] When this started, the lake was at 751 by the real curve by 1st,
[28:13] should have been at 743.
[28:16] And obviously, our attorneys are taking a look at this.
[28:19] Obviously, our hydrologists are taking a look at that.
[28:23] We also believe that with all the other cities that are experiencing this flooding,
[28:27] Brian, you kind of highlighted a video on a Tulsa World that was very interesting.
[28:32] We think these other cities are going to start understanding where our problems have been
[28:36] and start asking for a review of the way the core of engineers operates in stands.
[28:40] And I think this ties into a lot of the work we've done over the last year.
[28:44] This is almost a textbook example in my mind.
[28:48] So something to keep in mind is we go on.
[28:51] Go on to the next.
[28:53] We're going to continue to push GRDA to acquire proper flood easements.
[28:57] On this point, the city we're going to actively seek funds to acquire demolished properties,
[29:02] which have had repetitive flood.
[29:04] This follows the guidelines contained in the city's comprehensive plan.
[29:07] Mayors, you just indicated that this becomes a repetitive and competitive situation.
[29:13] I understand that there are some people who have been flooded to say that they don't want to move on.
[29:18] They don't want to have this happen to them again.
[29:21] We have a situation where water is going to go, where water is going to go,
[29:24] and we really have to start looking at this, but those people need to be compensator for their properties.
[29:29] And again, we have some major lawsuits dealing with this and the losses that people have had
[29:35] because of this and what we feel is that the backwater effect of grain lake and the fact that GRDA does not have proper easements.
[29:43] We're also going to continue to lobby ODOT to provide funding to elevate those Steve Owens Boulevard in 69 messed up the river.
[29:50] And again, all of these writings that we have had in the compound, we've been lobbying for,
[29:54] but it becomes very evident why we need to do that.
[30:00] We do have flood insurance, and we're in the process of making damage claims for city facilities and potential reimbursement for our flooding cost.
[30:07] We're also accounting for all cost and anticipation of federal reimbursement under disaster declaration.
[30:14] There are going to be community effects we're going to have to deal with, odor, increase of mosquitoes, displaced wildlife, flood debris.
[30:23] We're going to be working with the Health Department related actions that are since should take to protect themselves.
[30:28] And again, but I was talking about there, we're going to need additional assistance.
[30:33] We're probably going to hire some additional people to help us with electric recovery, allowing staff to continue to concentrate on normal operations during this time.
[30:41] This was an inconvenience but it's kind of concentrated.
[30:45] The other things in town we also need to continue to work on.
[30:49] So again along that line, that is what we're going to be trying to do.
[30:53] We're going to be we'll probably talk about this issue with the electricians after this meeting since it was brought up.
[30:59] That's what this discussion was supposed to do is help us with ideas along that line.
[31:04] Okay.
[31:05] As conditions allow facilities such as the bald diamonds will be reopened once they can be utilized.
[31:11] Brian, I know you've got a lot of calls about things like that.
[31:14] Yeah, I have a few words to say.
[31:18] You know, there's always a concern in making sure that we, you know, our youth have a place to go and play.
[31:25] And it affects my kids and everything else.
[31:28] But I just want people to stop and look and I appreciate it.
[31:32] I talked to Kevin Browning today.
[31:34] I appreciate him taking the extra steps to make sure that allowing kids back out onto the fields and in the facilities.
[31:43] What are the protocols and I think that some of the things we're talking to Kevin is, and I believe I've asked somebody else to do.
[31:49] In 2007, what was the steps to mail when we get back out there?
[31:53] What are, where's it written down there?
[31:55] Did he might make vlogs and so far nobody can find anything.
[31:59] So Kevin is really going to try to put something in place so we can follow that guideline for say just for that.
[32:06] So I understand that flood affects everybody in every different way.
[32:10] To some people that didn't flood their houses or their businesses or work.
[32:16] It's, it's making just getting their kids to back into it.
[32:20] And it's a very minute problem.
[32:23] But when people start taking and worrying about the facilities, in my opinion, of revenue, getting more than getting kids back out into a safe, healthy place to play.
[32:40] I really struggled with that. So I've had some conversations and I wish the conversation started.
[32:46] You know, what is it safe for the kids to be out there and that was not the case.
[32:50] So first and foremost, for my standpoint setting up here, I appreciate what the city has done as far as making sure and call.
[33:00] contacting the right people to say you know what we are good let's get you can go ahead
[33:04] and start cleaning up and doing that before just saying yeah go ahead and go after and do
[33:07] whatever you need to do to get your games played and so I appreciate Kevin for taking that extra
[33:14] step. One of the things that you mentioned will go and it's talking about the roads and backing
[33:22] up a little bit and there might be something but you know it was asked to me I know we always talked
[33:27] about Steve Owens but that's something I think we need to consider as you know and everybody
[33:31] faced it to try to get through town and what other roads you know 20 second was a lifeline there
[33:38] for for a long time and then it became it went under and then we had to go all the way through
[33:42] commerce so I think that as a council we need to consider what is if Steve Owens is going to
[33:49] be down the road what is our other option is there is there a way that we can raise 20 second or something
[33:54] down the road and I believe we need to be good stewards with the county and I visited with
[34:00] Mike Farmas who thought he was that area that I was in talking about was 20 second going out to
[34:08] the mushroom from road because that road really starts to take on flash flood and then it's deteriorating
[34:16] so there's a bunch of things that in the roads aspect that I think we need to think about what can we
[34:23] do to kind of help people get in and out of town just a little bit better down the road so
[34:29] you mentioned the mosquito spreading and I don't know if that falls underneath it you know where we
[34:35] set up to handle that we normally you know you can we can do some mosquitoes spreading but with this amount
[34:42] of water is right hard to know how effective it's going to be right the best thing to do is get some
[34:47] off right now not having any standing water but even when the water receives remember we want to be
[34:52] talking about this in a minute or every park has been underwater for a minute so when it does
[34:57] receive we're still going to have standing water, puddles and there's all sorts of things we can do
[35:03] we're talking earlier about we don't have enough cakes to throw into all the problems we're going to have
[35:08] so it's just going to be a little bit of everything one other thing is you talk about roads and I'm
[35:14] putting it in a flooding discussion was a bridge project that they were working on out there you know
[35:20] I knew we had a kind of a timeline and I saw some of the drone footage and saw them pushed all
[35:24] their equipment the best they could up to the last spot I'm assuming they didn't lose anything or
[35:30] hopefully heard of is it push or it's so back I've not heard of anything that's pushed at that
[35:36] no it is it we feel okay that we're still moving along right and that is but they actually
[35:42] rebounded on our lot right I knew they moved a bunch of stuff I just didn't know if this is going to
[35:48] push their time and then when we talked to them they didn't seem to thank you for the fact that
[35:53] okay when you talk about some of the areas being down for so long they had to completely
[36:00] stop for all that time, so I just was curious.
[36:02] I'm being honest with you.
[36:03] I just wanted to hitchhike on Brown's comments about the safety of the ball parks.
[36:07] I don't know if most people understand that we had to bypass our source plant.
[36:12] Totally.
[36:13] We had to bypass ours, but other communities have streamed bypassed theirs.
[36:17] That's exactly the thing.
[36:19] It's not just river water or like water out there.
[36:21] It's polluted water.
[36:22] Yeah.
[36:23] And that was the discussion I had.
[36:24] You know, there was a thing that I read, well, we've all played in the river around here.
[36:29] And really, we're not talking about the same stuff when you're talking about the torque
[36:33] creek.
[36:34] And then you're talking about all the pollution's in.
[36:36] And so I had that discussion with the individuals.
[36:39] And then they really, I kind of understand what you're saying.
[36:42] So when Congress and Mullins came to do his two or Debbie Dooley, who was a former Miami
[36:47] who was with him in 86, her son got a staff infection from getting out on the football field two
[36:53] points.
[36:54] Soon after, in a couple of other players, I mean, they can, you know, it can really be a bad deal.
[36:58] We're trying to be careful about that.
[37:00] And we're also trying to make sure that once once you're safe, we get them back into operation
[37:04] because a lot of people are looking for it.
[37:06] And to hit track on that, we do have action and a plan and it's just timing it as crazy as it sounds
[37:13] my understanding is, as if we had a little bit of rain, it sure does come off in a way.
[37:18] Oh, we're also telling you, you're saying rain and sunshine.
[37:20] sunshine and rain.
[37:21] Yeah.
[37:22] We're sunshine and rain.
[37:23] Yeah.
[37:24] We have a monster truck showing three weeks.
[37:27] We hope we can get a taking place.
[37:29] We might have to be taking a look at alternative parking for it.
[37:32] Maybe even utilize state highway 125 since the bridges are closed.
[37:36] But, you know, that's one of our biggest customers for the arena.
[37:41] We might have that done.
[37:43] I think they'd like to continue to have it.
[37:44] But that's just one of the issues we're talking about.
[37:47] Going on to the next.
[37:49] We strongly are considering relocating this year's independent state celebration.
[37:54] Exactly for Brian, which he was just talking about.
[37:58] We have a few parts been underwater for over a month.
[38:01] And we're not sure if it would be in the shape to handle any kind of the hundreds of visitors
[38:05] that they enjoyed the event.
[38:07] Just today, pointed out that some of our people are indicating that we're the waters receiving
[38:13] that you have things like fishing hooks and things like that.
[38:17] And let alone, you know, what we're talking about this being not just river water, but basically
[38:22] some raw sewage that's combined.
[38:24] So just since this is such a big event for this community, we're thinking about trying to find
[38:28] another orientation forward.
[38:29] So we're working on that right now.
[38:31] Why don't you be aware?
[38:33] We're also uncertain when we can open the mind and miss a pool that they get in the water, we
[38:38] had to remove our pumps.
[38:40] And then the splash pad is going to be delayed due to chronic rains as well.
[38:44] So that's just, in fact, matter, we don't know how much it's going to be delayed, but I think
[38:48] the best thing to do is anticipate this going to be just because of all the rain we've
[38:52] had.
[38:53] Is that due to in-house work or is it?
[38:56] Contractor company?
[38:57] It's all contract.
[42:00] I put some of the videos that we've produced,
[42:04] the marketing videos, and then the video with the 2018
[42:08] year-end year review, and then we also included
[42:13] their some videos that we use to market our industrial building
[42:18] and our industrial park, and also the careful.
[42:22] So that's on the flash drive.
[42:23] Along the way, I've included two folders with documents
[42:27] that are full copies of the last two proposals
[42:32] that we've prepared competing for new jobs
[42:35] through the commerce department.
[42:37] So all that is there.
[42:38] It just gives you some good examples of the work
[42:41] that we're doing, and a lot of good information.
[42:43] So we wanted to give that to you.
[42:48] The report that I've put together, I tried to format that
[42:51] in a way that would be kind of broad topics.
[42:55] And if you have any questions or things
[42:58] that you want to talk about, I'm preparing.
[43:01] I wanted to kind of touched on a little bit of the end
[43:03] of 2018 and then 2019 year today.
[43:07] So many of you have visited our offices down on Main Street,
[43:12] and it's a behind-the-back activity.
[43:17] A lot of really positive feedback from visitors and others.
[43:19] There's pretty much generally the comment is, wow,
[43:23] I can't believe this is here in Miami.
[43:25] So that's a very positive thing.
[43:27] And it's a great place to work with.
[43:29] We feel blessed to be in there.
[43:31] But it's a real hub of energy and activity.
[43:34] In late 18 and early 2019, the main chamber boards
[43:38] put together a revision to the bylaws.
[43:42] When we started this almost three years ago,
[43:45] we amended the bylaws, and then we realized
[43:49] that they weren't where these congruent all the way through.
[43:53] And so we really rolled up our sleeves and went to work
[43:57] to make those really work together well,
[44:00] because we still maintain two nonprofit corporations.
[44:03] There's the main nonprofit corporation.
[44:06] And then there's the chamber non-profit corporation.
[44:09] We maintain separate books, separate financials.
[44:12] And there's one board that they change to have,
[44:15] like you all do.
[44:16] One meaning is the chamber, the next meaning is the main board.
[44:20] So the part I want to make about the bylaws of ignorance
[44:24] is that we added interior board seats in the bylaws.
[44:29] And so we are more talked about this a lot.
[44:34] And if there are people who are interested and want
[44:38] to get more engaged and want to be involved
[44:40] in economic development and chamber commerce
[44:45] to a great detail, we would love to have people come forward
[44:50] to join the board, and we have some seats that are available.
[44:53] So it's wanted to let you all know that.
[44:56] And please pass along any buddy who's interested.
[60:00] that it comes to trying to bring you industry in.
[60:03] And so thank you for that.
[60:04] And Dean, and I work very close together.
[60:06] Tyler's always involved and many other things that.
[60:10] So the first local incentive is the fact
[60:12] that we have a very cooperative city,
[60:14] and that we are a utility provider that will make things happen.
[60:18] Instead of throwing up barriers and trouble.
[60:21] At the state level, we have a wide range of incentives
[60:25] from the state.
[60:26] Most of those are tax related.
[60:28] So we always put together very closely with the commerce department
[60:32] and put together an incentive proposal for the state
[60:34] of Oklahoma.
[60:35] And that's based on several things.
[60:38] One is the number of new jobs and the wages,
[60:42] the amount of investment, the kind of industry that it is,
[60:46] and does the company provide benefits to its employees.
[60:49] So those are the state level incentives.
[60:51] And then the last piece of incentives are the federal incentives.
[60:57] Where qualified is called federal new market tax credits.
[61:00] So if a company comes in and they invest $5 million
[61:03] in a new bill, if they do new market tax credits
[61:08] through these tax credits from the federal government,
[61:10] they can get $1 million of additional cash
[61:14] or 20% of their capital investment.
[61:17] And that comes at the beginning of their project.
[61:19] So that's a big deal.
[61:21] If you're invested in 10 million, you can get 2 million.
[61:24] There aren't a lot of places in the country
[61:26] that have that incentive.
[61:28] There are a lot of places, not all of them know how to use.
[61:31] And we're using it.
[61:33] And always propose a new market tax credits.
[61:36] The second one is, in 2018, after the Trump administration
[61:42] approved a tax bill, there was a new program
[61:45] that was started by the tax bill
[61:47] and it's called opportunity zones.
[61:49] So I've read about that.
[61:51] And I wrote a letter and put a package together,
[61:55] promoting Ottawa County and our census tracks,
[62:00] to be designated by the governor as an opportunity zone.
[62:04] We eventually, through that process,
[62:06] we got three of our census tracks.
[62:09] A, all of our North County border, all of our East County border,
[62:14] and then coming kind of in the middle there
[62:16] where the industrial park is, and then industrial,
[62:18] we're all in opportunity zone.
[62:21] What an opportunity zone does.
[62:23] If you have an investor that has a capital gains occurrence,
[62:29] they can avoid paying federal capital gains tax by investing
[62:34] in an opportunity zone.
[62:36] And so we're set up to offer that tool
[62:40] and that investment opportunity for companies
[62:43] that are located.
[62:44] So federal opportunities zone.
[62:45] And then the last federal incentive that we have
[62:48] is we are a, it gives companies an advantage
[62:52] when they are competing for federal contracts.
[62:56] And that is called, and I'm spaced out on that.
[62:59] But that's called.
[63:00] We're that too, so if you do federal contracting and you locate an audible county, you can get significant advantages by low community.
[63:11] So, that is, our incentive is a major positive for us.
[63:20] The other thing, I'll say, if we partner very closely, I mentioned the workforce development.
[63:25] Very closely with Ineo and very closely with Northeast T.
[63:30] And we talked about this earlier this week.
[63:33] Last week, we had our board meeting.
[63:35] The fact that our school district and our citizens approved the bond issue for our schools,
[63:40] that is a major statement that this community made to the positive,
[63:46] saying that we support our young people, that education is important,
[63:51] and that directly relates to the, but eventually the quality of our workforce.
[63:56] And I think too, that what that does is it tells people that might be considering coming here,
[64:01] that as a community, we invest, we're investing in our schools, we're investing in our young people.
[64:07] And so, those are all big advantages for locating our industrial party.
[64:14] I'll say one of our biggest challenges is that we have the 54,000 square foot spectrum.
[64:22] Now, that's an advantage in that when I ride proposals, we always companies and the reason you build a spectrum is because it's there.
[64:32] And you can move quickly, we can move quickly, and we can accommodate your relocation or your expansion, very quickly.
[64:40] And so, we continue to market the spectrum.
[64:44] And I'll tell you that the outside of having a spectrum is that there's a cost in carrying the debt on that boat.
[64:50] And so, we're paying for that, that out of our operating resources and try to be creative about that,
[64:58] working with the local banks.
[65:00] But one of the biggest challenges that I want to try to resolve, hopefully, with a site visitor,
[65:06] that visitor too, we might get a field going, but we need to get that spectrum ill in salt.
[65:10] What are we setting on? How long have we had this thing now setting their empty?
[65:14] But when I came in 2016, excuse me, the fall of 2016, it was under construction.
[65:22] And we finished it up in the fall into the winter of 2016.
[65:28] So we've been we've been marking it for all of 17, all of 18, and now 19 year today.
[65:35] So as long as I've been here, we've been marching that spectrum and carrying it.
[65:41] And so it is, I think about that every day.
[65:46] The end really done.
[65:49] We think about it every day.
[65:51] So that's the big thing, if we can get somebody in that spectrum building and get that carry,
[65:58] but carry costs.
[66:00] off of us, then we're going to be in a lot better shape, but plus it would be new jobs and
[66:05] new investment.
[66:06] You talk about opportunities zones.
[66:10] Is this something that comes and goes or once it's an opportunity zone you're there
[66:13] forever?
[66:14] Well, so it's based on the designation is a census tract.
[66:20] So we have three census tract that until the federal government changes it, it'll be that way.
[66:27] And so in any company that's located in that area and our entire industrial part and really
[66:35] most of the land along the 69A is opportunity zones.
[66:41] There are numerous tribal entities that are in opportunity zones and the big challenge
[66:47] that we have right now is that we're waiting on the IRS and the Treasury Department
[66:54] to give us the rules about how opportunity zones work.
[66:58] So we're watching that, monitoring that, but let me, I'll try to be not too much in the
[67:05] weeds, but so let's say that an individual or a company has a capital gains of permits and
[67:14] their subject to pay capital A gains tax, but the opportunity zone does is they can take that
[67:21] money and they can put it into an opportunity fund and that's easy to create.
[67:27] That's no problem creating opportunity fund.
[67:29] Once it's in an opportunity fund, that money can be used as a way to purchase real estate or
[67:37] to fund the operations of a company located in the opportunity zone.
[67:41] And if that investment stays in that company for, I think, 10 years plus or minus, what happens
[67:49] is the basis, the IRS is just the basis that was the basis for the gain is adjusted up and
[67:56] you don't have a tax liability.
[67:57] Then you can take your money back out and you didn't pay capital gains.
[68:02] So it's very complicated, there's not a lot of clear rules or regulations about it, but
[68:09] in an F shell, it has to do with capital gains and reinvesting it in the zone.
[68:14] And they won't go away until the federal government ordered change.
[68:20] Potentially, they could change the tax law on five years, that was a way to, they're trying
[68:26] to steal capital towards the press, Eric.
[68:30] That's right.
[68:31] And all of these federal programs I talked about are New Market Tax Trends, Optisms.
[68:36] They were done with the intention to bring new jobs and new investment into economically depressed
[68:43] areas by census trend.
[68:46] So that's the idea.
[68:49] New Market Tax Trends is very, very crude and why it's important is program opportunities
[68:57] zones, hopefully we will gain some traction.
[69:00] And so the bad news is we qualify for them, the good news is we qualify for them.
[69:06] That's exactly right.
[69:09] Yeah.
[69:12] Okay.
[69:13] On the 169A, just as in the office today, and I got a visit, and they are now actively acquiring right away.
[69:22] So that was a good sign.
[69:24] Yeah.
[69:25] And the industrial part has some right away that they're going to just pay us for.
[69:30] The question is, I'd be happy to visit with anybody individually.
[69:34] Just give me a call, drop me an email, and I'll come to you and we can unpack as much of this as you're interested in that.
[69:41] No, and I probably will.
[69:43] That was, it's always tough.
[69:47] And I think I've said it every time you've done this.
[69:50] What you do is not an easy job.
[69:52] Everybody I give is like, what are they doing?
[69:57] What are we doing with the spectrum?
[69:59] Why do we keep them money?
[70:01] What do we get out of it?
[70:03] Yeah.
[70:04] So I have to, and I always told you this.
[70:08] I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I was really, you know, we have to have something because we've got
[70:13] A lot of side organizations that we give them credits for stuff, and they, they have a plan, and they got a thing they got to go through.
[70:19] So sure.
[70:20] My request, and in, and I appreciate she putting this together is, you know, you always look at it and I was telling her,
[70:27] I, you know, that don't have my paper from last year because I always like to see what what your goals were and where you were last year.
[70:33] What you hope for and where's that at this year?
[70:35] And then so I, I'm going to try to make it better out for it to keep in this.
[70:38] And because, you know, how do you regulate what, what do you consider successful?
[70:42] I mean, is it selling the spec building or finding somebody in that that's a successful year?
[70:48] I don't know.
[70:49] And you know, and I'll tell you, I think success is, you know,
[70:54] a big part of it is the fact that in Oklahoma City, the Commerce Department and elected officials, they know that we're ready for business here.
[71:05] And we, we think, bring a project here.
[71:08] They know that we know how to work it and we'll make it work.
[71:11] We make it happen.
[71:12] Yeah.
[71:13] And I think we had an opportunity, and it just didn't go our way.
[71:16] And I think if that would have worked out, we would have all been, we'd all been heroes.
[71:20] And no one would ever say anything.
[71:22] And that's where I try to remind people that, you know, it, like you said, it's a tea or a ton of one minute.
[71:28] It looks great.
[71:29] And next minute, everything falls off from the earth.
[71:31] That's right.
[71:32] And I, I, the lab put it is in economic development.
[71:37] You do have kids a lot of frauds.
[71:39] And when I say we have nine active projects, three of those are local.
[71:43] And six of those are, we've submitted a very good proposal for it.
[71:48] And one of those six, we're going to have a site visit.
[71:52] And so when we get a site visit, I think we show well.
[71:56] And that's what I'm hoping for.
[75:00] building work? Well, reasonably priced. Well, and it is. We're open to least purchase options on that building.
[75:09] If you've got that building for us, cheaper than the new kind of building.
[75:13] That's true. That one. That one. That's true.
[75:16] Thank you. Thank you.
[75:17] Any other questions for Steve?
[75:19] Thanks Steve. Thank you very much for that.
[75:24] Item 13, fiscal year 2018, 19, municipal budget, message and resolution regarding the city of Miami.
[75:30] Budget for the 2019, 2020 year and establishing budget amendment authority.
[75:37] Jill.
[75:38] I'm just here to answer questions.
[75:39] I think that has been from our budget session meeting.
[75:42] I can't tell you that the two outside organizations you asked me to contact,
[75:47] that we had received applications, I did and I got application.
[75:51] So is this just an updated, are we always being asked to vote on the budget?
[75:57] You were being asked to vote on the budget.
[76:00] And Vicki's not here, but she had text when she said she was going to make it.
[76:05] I've made sure she knew we were going to be voting on the budget tonight and ask her if that was a concern.
[76:09] She said, no, go right ahead.
[76:11] So we're still good.
[76:14] We're not having to transfer.
[76:17] Did you close the gap on what you were?
[76:20] Yes.
[76:21] So where we had currently on that?
[76:23] So the general fund, right, man.
[76:25] Well, the money, I did exactly what I said I would do.
[76:29] We actually changed a little bit on the street,
[76:32] been alley fund and the street stadium fund.
[76:35] So of the additional money that we collect,
[76:38] we can choose to use that for over here or use 240,000 of that for over here.
[76:44] Street alley, you can have 260,000.
[76:47] So that's a 500,000.
[76:49] That's the whole thing.
[76:52] With that getting in at 2D, how will the flooding in the tornado affect our budget?
[76:58] That's right now.
[77:00] That's why it's so important to get all the damage in.
[77:03] That if we get a federal disaster declaration, we'll look at it.
[77:06] I'm just curious how we're going to pay for it.
[77:08] It's there if we need it.
[77:10] That's our worst case scenario.
[77:12] Yeah.
[77:13] It's a good answer.
[77:16] Which is a good answer.
[77:18] One of those applications that you were seeing the tear that we were supposed to go on.
[77:23] Did they give you an audit as well?
[77:25] Or is it like the financials?
[77:27] They usually give it.
[77:28] Yeah.
[77:29] They present our financials are recorded.
[77:32] They may not be audited financials.
[77:35] I don't think you're funny.
[77:36] I don't think you're funny at all.
[77:37] Do you enjoy your transactions?
[77:38] Probably gets an audit daily.
[77:39] How do they?
[77:40] I don't know if all of them do.
[77:41] We don't get audits.
[77:42] We don't get audits.
[77:43] We don't get audits.
[77:45] We don't get the financials.
[77:46] Some organizations are required by law and a half.
[77:48] But then we can ask that.
[77:54] Yeah.
[77:55] Any concerns about approving the budget tonight?
[78:00] And we still have a little bit of time, but if we don't have any concerns, we'll move forward
[78:05] if there are concerns, if Vicki didn't have any, but anybody.
[78:09] I'm good.
[78:10] No, I think my only concern was, and I've always stressed that is, is when I will be put
[78:13] in there to not transfer.
[78:15] Yeah.
[78:16] And that's where we're good, where we're not having to.
[78:20] We're a little bit in there.
[78:21] So, we have a motion to approve of item 13, which is a universal budget, ready?
[78:29] Message and resolution, and establishing budget amendment authority.
[78:34] And a second.
[78:40] Second.
[78:41] Roll call, please.
[78:42] Work it.
[78:43] All right.
[78:44] All right.
[78:45] Four.
[78:46] All right.
[78:47] Thank you, everyone.
[78:49] Item 14 through 16, I look like they're related to the conversations we had earlier.
[78:54] Is that fair to say?
[78:55] Great.
[78:56] Great.
[78:57] Okay.
[78:58] And if you'll just briefly describe each one again, then we'll.
[79:01] Okay.
[79:02] So, that part of the number 14 is the clean water, state of volume.
[79:04] And so, that is, it's sewer, paint case sewer, and it's from sewer stuff.
[79:10] Thank you.
[79:11] Thank you.
[79:14] I'm just trying to see there's, so there's not in the, in the S.U.A. agenda items that were dollar
[79:20] amounts listed.
[79:22] I don't know if they have to be here.
[79:25] I'm just, I'm not making.
[79:27] Okay.
[79:28] But, don't need to come up.
[79:31] That, please.
[79:32] Hey, that was public finance logger, but the question, I think you're thinking about asking
[79:39] it, is why are we approving this again?
[79:41] The authority is the issuer of the debt.
[79:44] So, you've already taken action to approve the issuance of each of these three nodes under
[79:49] the public trust statutes for Oklahoma.
[79:52] The city has been a fisher of the public trust.
[79:54] It's required to approve the actions taken by the authority.
[79:57] So, each of these resolutions is individually approving each of the issuance of node by the
[80:03] authority.
[80:04] And so, that's why these don't have to be quite as specific.
[80:07] There's the U.S. U.A. because they were going out, approving, barring of specific amounts
[80:13] and we're just approving their actions, right?
[80:15] Okay.
[80:16] Any other questions?
[80:18] If not, do we have a most to approve item 14, most to approve?
[80:24] And the second, please?
[80:25] Second.
[80:26] What would we call?
[80:27] One, two, four, sir.
[80:28] All right.
[80:29] Work it.
[80:30] Sure.
[80:31] All right.
[80:32] I will make a motion to approve item 15, which is authorizing the issuance.
[80:37] The MSUA is action authorizing the issuance.
[80:40] We have a second.
[80:41] We'll call, please.
[80:44] Solve.
[80:45] All right.
[80:46] Work it.
[80:47] All right.
[80:48] Four, sir.
[80:49] All right.
[80:50] And item 16 is action with respect to the resolution, approving the action taken by the
[80:59] MSUA.
[81:00] specifically the drinking water SRF promissory note for the OWRB. We have most of you
[81:07] have pretty wide of 16.
[81:09] And a second.
[81:10] Second.
[81:11] The roll call please.
[81:12] First.
[81:13] I want to thank you gentlemen.
[81:18] If Tyler had done a better job either had that earlier in the agenda.
[81:22] I know you probably have a long drive, but Blank Tyler not me.
[81:27] I am 17 as new business.
[81:30] Any new business?
[81:31] Anyone?
[81:32] I am 18 as staff reports.

[81:38] That's available if there are any questions on anything.
[81:41] I am 19 as mayor and council committee announcements in the announcements.
[81:47] Anyone?
[81:49] I just will say on behalf of the council, we do appreciate all the hours and time and effort
[81:54] staff is put into this and in some ways the hardest part still to come.
[81:59] We talk about the red tagging and all that kind of stuff.
[82:02] That's not going to be any fun.
[82:03] We're going to have some people angry.
[82:05] We're going to set up to deal with it.
[82:08] Any other announcements?
[82:10] I am 20 as city manager communication.
[82:13] Make everything I need to be covered.
[82:15] I covered over Floor.
[82:16] I am 21 as a German.
[82:18] We have most of you in German.
[82:19] Thanks.
[82:20] And a second.
[82:21] Second.
[82:22] Roll call please.
